4.4 Resource Approval and Revocation

After you create a resource, you can modify the resource information and define the approval process for it. You can choose the role approval process to override the resource approval process.

To change the approval process for a resource, select it from the list of resources or search for it using Filter. The page displays information for the resource. A resource approver can be a user, a group, a container, or a specific role. You can define the approval process for a resource using one of the following options:

  • Serial Approval: Specify multiple approvers, and define the order by selecting an approver and moving that approver earlier or later in the order by clicking the arrows at the right of the approval list.

  • Quorum Approval: Specify the approvers, then use the slide bar to specify the percent of those approvers that are required to grant access.

  • Other Available Processes: Specify the other approval process that you want to use. This approval process must be available for use in Catalog Administrator.

    NOTE:You must set up this approval process in Identity Manager Designer. For more information, see User Application: Design Guide.

If you choose None, no approvers are required for assigning the resource.

You can revoke the resource assignment by choosing one of the available options. The resource revocation process can match the resource approval process, or you can define a different process. Select the Same as Grant Approval option if you want the revocation process to match the approval process. If you define a different process, you are presented with same options that you have for defining the approval process.
